Soil water use efficiency under integrated soil management practices in the drylands of Kenya

Soil water use efficiency under integrated soil management practices in the drylands of Kenya

Soil moisture scarcity and soil fertility decline in the drylands contribute to declining crop productivity. The possible synergistic effects of integrating soil & water conservation, and soil fertility management practices on soil moisture, and hence water use efficiency (WUE) in the drylan...
